Exclusively Shows to focus on future

Exclusively Housewares and Exclusively Electrical are looking ahead to Christmas 2016 and Spring/Summer 2017 this year when they open at the Business Design Centre, London in June

Sister shows Exclusively Housewares and Exclusively Electrical to focus on Christmas 2016 and Spring/Summer 2017 when it runs in London from June 14-15, 2016.

“We know from contact with Exclusively visitors that trade shows are important, not just for finding new suppliers and new products, but also to get an overview of what is being planned for the seasons ahead,” says show director Simon Boyd.

“This year the Exclusively shows are aiming to give buyers a helping hand to search out and recognise ‘On Trend’ products – focusing particularly on Christmas 2016 and the spring/summer season for 2017.

"The shows will offer visitors a new On Trend display area, free accompanied ‘Trend Tours’ around the show floor undertaken by trend forecasters Scarlet Opus, and a series of free quick-fire industry presentations featuring market briefings from leading market research company GfK, John Ryan, stores editor for Retail Week and Phil Pond of Scarlet Opus, aimed at retailers keen to stay on top of consumer trends and gain an insight into what customers will be looking out for in the future."

This will be the 15th Exclusively Housewares, which continues to offer its visitors access to the largest UK line-up of housewares suppliers under one roof, all at one time.

Exclusively Electrical, which was successfully launched last year and runs alongside Exclusively Housewares in the Business Design Centre’s Gallery Hall, is also back with an impressive second year line up of 25 leading Small Domestic Appliance (SDA) suppliers.

“As two specialist shows we offer a depth and breadth of brands, products and suppliers that is very attractive to a great mix of retailers for whom housewares and SDA products range from the purely functional right through to ideal gifts,” comments Simon.

Both shows will run on Tuesday, June 14 and Wednesday, June 15 2016 at the Business Design Centre, London. To register, visit either of the show websites: www.exclusivelyhousewares.co.uk or www.exclusivelyelectrical.co.uk
